This is an antique ice cooler that was used in an old store (house had front room converted/added which was a convenience store.) I don't know too much about it and am not quite sure what other information I would need to add about it, so any prompts for additional information are appreciated!
There is a tag on it that says "Atherton - Augustus W. Ott Manufacturer ~ Worcester, Mass." - see included picture.
It appears to have all the original hinges and handles. I do believe that they may have converted this to use a compressor to keep things cold at some point - I'd have to do a closer look to see what has been altered in the interior.
It seems to be in fairly good shape and just needs a good cleaning.
I don't have exact measurements, but it stands over 5 feet tall and is just as wide.
Thanks!
